NEWS:Sick, Very very sick -- Chris @ 3:39pm || Post in the forum
I don't know what more can be worse than what we all have been watching for the entire day today.
You all should know by now what has happened. The World Trade Centers are no more. Two planes crashed into each one. A few minutes later after fire had taken the upper portion of the buildings over, they collasped, and poured 100s of thousands of pounds of dust, and debris. Saddly to say, there were people in the building at that time, some of them got out in time, while others died, and have yet to be found in the 10+ feet of debris and dust that are on the ground now.
I myself don't know what to think of it. I heard that they were "gone". I thought to myself that there is no way that such a massive set of buildings could be gone. They were huge, each well over 700 feet high. The sad thing is that all of the people that were in there just to make some money for their familys may have lost their lives today from a terrorist. For someone that wanted to make a statment, they all lost their lives. People aboard the two planes are gone as well.
I think I need time to think about all of this, I see the news and the pictures, but I seem to think that it is not real, that it is a dream. I don't know how anyone could plan such a thing.
I saw the dust and smoke from the parkway entrance around here where I live - something that I thought I would never see. Infact, I never really thought about it, since I did not think that it would happen. It was really a breath taking view, you could see the smoke going off into the horizion, and you could see the towers no more. I used to be able to see them from there - not anymore.
